But much more interesting is your remark, page 224: "considerando a fondo la corrispondenza, implicata da detta genealogia, tra la variante 'raddoppiata' di 381 e 381-002 (che sarebbero due modi diversi di scrivere lo stesso antroponimo)". Myself I have often wondered "is 002 a sign of reduplication?" -- just like in Malay you write "orang2" for "orang-orang". This is important, because, if it is a reduplication sign indeed, this gives us the answer to the order in which the individual elements of a sign were read. We know that they were read from bottom to top. However, in the case of anthropomorphic signs with four limbs showing, how were these read? Left leg, right leg, left arm, right arm, or left leg, left arm, right leg, right arm? If 002 is a reduplication sign, then the order was almost certainly left leg, left arm, right leg, right arm. It is also important because it would mean that this name, 381-002, or the "reduplicated" 381, consists of reduplicated syllables, such as "Teketeke".

     I greatly enjoyed how you illustrated Metoro's readings through Egyptian, page 202: "the flowering rush, the quail, the plant [and] the bread [are] the king['s]; the owl [is on] the den [of] the viper". Wonderfully witty and perfectly to the point!

     You have done an excellent job there. Quite impressive, too.
